Japanese Black Red Gold Handcrafted Brocade Silk Wall Decorative Art
Located in Takarazuka, JP
Extraordinary Japanese contemporary captivating highly collectible oshie decorative art piece with a three-dimensional effect, a Japanese traditional decorative art with a “yoroi” or “samurai armor” design in red, black and gold. It depicts an extremely intricate and highly decorated Japanese armor, and demonstrates the Fine materials and the attention to details that go into creating oshie wall decorations. The artist has used exquisite antique silk brocades and silk to recreate this exceptional piece in oshie form. All of the geometric patterns in red on the side and the bottom of the yoroi, and all the intricate details in red throughout, are the result of an extremely time-consuming process of painstakingly wrapping red silk thread around blocks covered with thick black kimono fabric, making sure they are tightly aligned to create perfect squares, rectangles and lines.
“Oshie” (literally, “pressed pictures”) is a traditional Japanese art form dating back to Edo period (1603-1868), and is said to have been born of the reluctance of ladies of the court to discard the magnificent silk kimonos and brocaded obi they have donned for a life time. The solution was to transform these opulent fabrics into stunning works of art. The frame is not included.
Oshie resembles a carefully crafted jigsaw puzzle consisting of numerous pieces of kimono fabric padded with slightly varying thickness of cotton and painstakingly glued and ironed together to create an incredible three-dimensional picture. Highly detailed oshie contain hundreds of tiny pieces that are expertly aligned to express subtle gradations of color and pattern, as well as light and shade. In the final process, the details are characterized by painting and shading, and facial features are painted in miniature-like exactitude.
Yoroi is armor worn by high-ranking samurai on horseback in Japan’s feudal age. Its box shape and the heavy weight due to the decorations did not allow much movement. Yoroi is covered with hundred of small iron or leather scales laced together using leather cords or braided silk. Differences in color, design and lacing served as identifying markers for individual clans.
“Kabuto” or “helmet”, one of the yoroi components, served to protect and to impress. Like yoroi, it was decorated with colorful scales, and was often adorned with a family crest and wooden or deer horns.
This breathtaking Oshie piece is the work of a life-long oshie artist who prides herself in the selection of the best available antique and vintage kimono and obi fabrics...

Collection of Five Japanese Oshi-E Textile Art Panels Meiji Period
Located in Atlanta, GA
On offer is a set of five Japanese textile art panels called Oshi-E circa Meiji Period (1868-1912). This usual set of panels depict various aspects of daily life in Edo time with beautiful details. Some of these panels are snapshots of the buzzling commercial activities at the marketplace, providing insight into the signages, architecture, costumes and how people interacted within a historical and pictorial context. Other panels depict daily leisure activities such as lounging in the park or visiting friends. The realistic rendering and attention to details are not short of "photographic" quality. From the signage of the shops to the motions and attires of the individual characters, from the hairstyle, small ornaments, down to the facial expression, were all recorded in great details. Each panel was signed with the artist's name Yukihana in Kanji with a red seal.
These panels are unframed and await your custom touch (framing with inner gilt spacer and mat costs about 250-500 depending on the material chosen, see a framed example in the last picture of a single framed panel we have for sale). We offer them for sale individually, but it will be great for a collector to consider the whole set so that they can stay together.
The Oshi-E (also known as kiritori zaiku) is a type of ornamental textile art dated back to the Muromachi period (1392-1573). It started among the elite aristocratic women in Kyoto before spreading wider in the Japanese society. Throughout Edo and Meiji period, Oshi-E were sometimes used to make offerings to the altars in the temple and in the late 19th century, it was exported to the west along with the other embroidery textile art. Oshi-E was made by using silk wadding to create a relief design. Various silk fabric swaps and sometimes wires and tassels, often recycled from older kimonos...
